Auxiliary timecode and drop/nondrop timecode

I'm new to FCP and am trying to edit a 4-camera shoot that didn't have synced timecode. I'm trying to use auxiliary timecode to sync the footage. Here's my question: If the source timecode is nondrop frame, but the FCP sequence is drop frame, do I make the auxiliary timecode drop frame or nondrop frame?
Also: I can't watch the multiclip in the timeline on Safe without rendering. If I watch it on Unlimited, it keeps dropping frames on playback. Can I edit anyway, or will I have a mess later?

The 10.4.7 update won't hurt you any... just run Software update to get it.
Is the LaCie drive really full?
If you would, download a utiltiy from AJA.com... here: http://www.aja.com/html/supportkona3swd.html The System Test is what you want about 1/2 way down the page.
Run that on the LaCie... the performance tests. Post back what it's Sustained Read is. It needs to be pretty fast to run several streams of video at the same time. That's what you are trying to do when you play a multiclip.
Be sure that multiclip playback is turned on in the RT pop up menu in the upper left area of the timeline window too.

Option-Drag; Drag and Drop Timecode

Trying to copy tiimecode from one window to another. When I option-drag and drop it in the destination window it pops in with about 4 seconds subtracted. It's not a consistent difference, but always close to 4 seconds. Cut and paste (Apple+C; Apple+V) works.
FCP 4
OS 10.3.9
I could give you particulars but this isn't a major issue. It would just save some time in this tedious workflow if I could option-drag. I've searched several boards and help files. Does anyone know if these types of functions -- option-drag, control-click, etc are the domain of FCP or Mac OS? Could be either, or, depending, maybe, I suppose, which is why this may be a futile search. Thanks.

Sure Stephanie,
Attached is a VI I threw together to illustrate the issue. My code (deliberately) doesn't try to handle the drop properly, it just illustrates the lack of button change.
Note that my main project code implements the workaround of using a shift register to store the original button value (and then the drag data cluster to store it for final use).

Adding Auxiliary Timecode

Hello,
Any pointers on working on a Dual System project with mismatched video and audio timecode?
Some of the audio coming in on the Master tapes needs to be replaced with backup audio. So, I'm syncing the video with the backup audio, linking the two and dragging the linked clips over to the browser to create a new Master Clip.
I've been experiencing some weird sync issues with the Trim Edit Window with these new clips that I THINK are happening because the video timecode doesn't match the audio timecode. I tried adding an auxiliary timecode to the audio tracks that matched the video TC, but the only TC showing up on the window overlays is the source TC.
Any tips?
Thanks.
Dual 2.5 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2) 6 GB RAM

I don't think Aux timecode will help here - AFAIK, it's used for syncing Multi-clips and you can use it (IIRC) for generating an EDL, but other than that, the system doesn't pay attention to it...

I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.

Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

Why does not drag and drop work?!

Hello,
I am trying to implent a drag and drop from a table to an icon representing a trash.
The drop handler fails in converting the selected rows to a list:
com.sun.el.MethodExpressionImpl@87d9c00d javax.el.ELException: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.List
Could you help me to understand why? Below are the details.
This is the af:table:
<af:table var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1"
value="#{bindings.MyView1.collectionModel}"
rowSelection="multiple"
columnStretching="last"
horizontalGridVisible="false"
verticalGridVisible="false" fetchSize="-1"
autoHeightRows="6" width="190"
disableColumnReordering="true">
<af:column sortable="true" headerText="Entry" id="c1"
align="start">
<af:outputText value="#{row.Description}" id="ot1"/>
</af:column>
<af:dragSource actions="MOVE" defaultAction="MOVE"
discriminant="delete"/>
</af:table>
This is the drop area:
<af:image source="Images/empty_trash_32.png" id="i2">
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{backingBeanScope.DropHandlerBean.dropHandler}"
actions="MOVE">
<af:dataFlavor flavorClass="org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySet"
discriminant="delete"/>
</af:dropTarget>
</af:image>
This is the failing listener listener (the failing point is bold):
public DnDAction dropHandler(DropEvent dropEvent) {
DnDAction dnda = DnDAction.NONE;
if (dropEvent.getProposedAction() == DnDAction.MOVE) { // delete
RichTable table = (RichTable)dropEvent.getDragComponent();
//determine the rows that are dragged over
Transferable t = dropEvent.getTransferable();
//when looking for data, use the same discriminator as defined
//on the drag source
DataFlavor<RowKeySet> df =
DataFlavor.getDataFlavor(RowKeySet.class, "delete");
RowKeySet rks = t.getData(df);
if (rks == null) {
return DnDAction.NONE;
Iterator iter = rks.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
//get next selected row key
System.out.println(rks.toArray().length); // the number of selected rows is ok
List key = (List)iter.next(); // here gives: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.List
//make row current so we can access it
table.setRowKey(key);
//the table model represents its row by the ADF binding class,
//which is JUCtrlHierNodeBinding
JUCtrlHierNodeBinding rowBinding =
(JUCtrlHierNodeBinding)table.getRowData();
Row row = (Row)rowBinding.getRow();
//delete row;
row.remove();
//activate animation
dnda = DnDAction.MOVE;
return dnda;
thanks.

I did try, I obtained this:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Why NullPointerException?
I don't know if this helps, but consider that the collection model comes from a ViewObject built on three EOs with many fields, although the table only shows one column.
This is the Iterator in my pageDef:
<table IterBinding="MyView1Iterator" id="MyView1">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="Cod1"/>
<Item Value="Cod2"/>
<Item Value="Cod3"/>
<Item Value="Cod4"/>
<Item Value="Description"/>
<Item Value="Cod5"/>
</AttrNames>
</table>
Any idea?
I will see the Key content with the debugger.

Did my first back up today using external hard drive and time machine now i can't drag and drop

Hi, i did my first back up today using time machine it all went onto my external hard drive fine. Now i cant drag and drop anyhting. I assume ive cahnged some settings in time machine but cant figure it out what to do can some one help ?
thanks

Thanks Pondini but i have closed time machine, removed external hard drive.
Did you eject it first?
Now i cant drag and drop anything on my desk top, or mail or any other application. Ive tried moving folders, documents none of it works. Even moving around documents within a folder, it wont let me chnage the position of files.
That shouldn't be related to Time Machine (especially if the backups aren't mounted).
What happens when you try those things? Do you get any messages? Anything you can post a screenshot of?
Have you tried a Restart?
Does it happen in another user account? (If you don't have one, create one via System Prefs > Users & Groups.)

Drag and Drop (re-order) Thumbnails in Organizer

I am using Photoshop Elements version 5.0.2
I would like to re-order pictures in an order that will make sense for me in my business. I suppose I can go through each pix and change the time on them, so I can then sort by time stamp.
Is there an easier way to do this? I was hopeful that I could drag and drop them in Thumbnail view - but I cannot.
Thank you,
Jamie

>Is there anyway to delete the photos in the main well, without losing them from my collection?
As I understand the design, the main well is intended to be all the photos that you are managing with Photoshop Elements.
Collections are used to display a specific group of those photos in your chosen sequence for any given activity.
I suspect that since you are using a consumer product such as Photoshop Elements for your business purpose, you may need to make some compromises like having a default (the main photo well) display sequence which you see first when starting PSE that is not what you would choose.
This is not bad if PSE does what you want - just additional steps to switch to the Collection view and also to maintain (drag and drop) the sequencing of the collection when you add additional photo files to a Collection.

Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
easily? Would
be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
use of
them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
look at it more closely.
Thanks in advance.

An mp3 file on my computer will not import to itunes by either the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. My OS is Windows 7.

I purchased an mp3 from a private website on my laptop. The itunes library i sync ipod to is on my desktop, so i copied the mp3 onto a flash drive and then into my desktop in the Downloads folder and Desktop folder as well as the itunes music folder, 3 places. I opened itunes on the desktop and read the instructions for importing music that's already in my computer. Neither the drag-and-drop or the Add File to Library method works. I've tried both ways over and over. Cannot figure out what the problem is. I do note that the name of the mp3 file doesn't show the .mp3 extension, it appears as simply it's title, Eating Healthy, without any extension at all. Could the filename be the problem, or do you have any other idea what I'm doing wrong? My OS is Windows 7, using IE9. Thanks.
ADDENDUM AFTER READING ANOTHER DISCUSSION HERE: I have now tried right clicking the song in Windows Explorer and choosing Open With, clicking itunes. The mp3 plays in itunes but does not add to the library.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

Select All in a table does not work for Drag and Drop

Hi. I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.2 but have also reproduced in 11.1.1.3.
I am trying to implement drag and drop rows from one table to another. Everything works fine except when I do a Select All (ctrl-A) in a table, the table visually looks like all rows are selected, but when I try to click on one of the selected rows to drag to the other table, only the row I click on is dragged.
I tried setting Range Size -1, fetch mode to FETCH_ALL, content delivery to "immediate" but nothing works.
I even have reproduced not using a view object but just a List of beans with only 5 or 10 beans showing in the table.
Does anyone know how to get Select All to work for a Drag Source?
Thanks.
-Ed

Frank-
OK, thanks for looking into that. I also submitted this service request, which includes a simple sample app to demonstrate the problem:
SR #3-2387481211: ADF Drag and Drop does not work for rows in table using Select All
Thanks again for the reply.

Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

Here's the short-cut solution:
Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
Make sense?

Drag and drop podcasts do not show up under "podcasts" heading

When I manually drag and drop a downloaded podcast into my Ipod, these do not show up in ITunes under the "podcasts" category. When I look at the Ipod display, it show the podcast is actually on the device, even though ITunes does not show it. I can not browse through the ITunes listings to find the missing podcasts since the only other category available in the left-hand menu is "music" and this does not show podcast as an option for genre. How can I display and delete podcasts after I have listened to them? Hows can I see what is actually on my Ipod using ITunes.

Only episodes downloaded with iTunes will go into podcast section even if genre is set to podcast. Doesn't matter if it is singles episode download or using subscription.
Episodes downloaded with browser will go into music section. Depending on tag info they can then be found using genre, artist, or album search.
Somebody, awhile ago, found the difference in files using a hex editor. They were successful in moving the direct download file to the podcast section.
